Fire Emblem: Awakening will be released on February 4th. Europe will see the game sometime in April.

Looks so damn good. Easily my most anticipated game next year, slightly edging out MH3U. Probably won’t buy anything except Fable II from now until February as I need to start saving up for a new PC. I would’ve bought a Wii U but since I just got an XL and MH3U is also gonna be on this, I think I can just wait. A shame the VA is typical Fire Emblem bad. =/

A lot of fun… except your units get killed… good thing you can restart a mission if one dies.

Cannot you save your game in the middle of the battle any time you want in this version? D: or just the tipycal suspend?

Yvonne Tsang

Casual mode if you don’t want permanent deaths. :D

Eilanzer

the best feature in this game ^^ makes your characters valuable and you start to care about them and RLY think about your moves.

This is defiantly the game I am most looking forward to next year. Been a while since I’ve enjoyed a good fire emblem with the last one never coming state side and Shadow Dragon not being a personal favorite of mine.

So glad the wait isn’t long. Actually getting Etrian Odyssey IV and this, the year is pretty good start.

Not a fan of original voice acting getting cut…such is life.

JustThisOne

It’s weird, because this is probably one of the only series that I can think of that I’d be okay with the voices cut. FE has never really been voice heavy, besides super important cutscenes. As a result, they always end up sounding drastically different from what I imagined them to be… xD

Though, I do wonder who they would’ve casted.

Foryth

More often than not I play these games with no sound, or I go through the dialogue so fast that the voice actors don’t have the time to finish their lines, so I don’t really give a damn. It would’ve been nice I guess, but this is nothing new with JRPGs.
